A Son's Promise: A Memoir of Perseverance from Liberia to America, is an inspiring true story of a young boy's struggle to manhood and beyond, and his mother's determination to give him a future he could only dream of in rural, tribal Liberia. She sacrificed much of her own life in order to send him to St. Mary's Catholic School in nearby Sanniquellie to begin his education. In return, she asked her young son to write of her agony and quest for children. This deeply moving memoir of hope, love, and overcoming is the fulfillment of Marsilius's promise to his mother.
